Praise for Robert J. Conley: "Robert J. Conley is in the ranks of N. Scott Momaday, Louise Erdrich, James Welch, and W.P. Kinsella as an interpreter of many facets of the Native-American experience." --Joseph C. Porter, "Fort Worth Star-Telegram" "Robert J. Conley's "Mountain Windsong" deserves to become an American classic. Conley takes the grim facts of our 'Manifest Destiny' and makes them come alive in a novel that is beautiful and heartwarming as well as tragic." --Tony Hillerman "As the tragic tale unfolds, the novel acquires power and resonance and the reader cannot fail to be moved by Conley's insights into Cherokee history and culture." -- "Publishers Weekly" on "Mountain Windsong" "An unforgettable adventure of love, death, and nature the entices you with each page." --Max Evans, author of "The Rounders," on "War Woman" "The Cherokee Nation was never more vividly brought to life than in this outstanding novel." --Jory Sherman, author of "The South Platte," on "Nickajack" "Conley has shaped a touching, powerful vision of Indian life past and present, of abiding love, and of a national disgrace." -- "Kirkus Reviews" on "Mountain Windsong" "A gripping, convincingly imagined historical... War Woman's life is told with page-turning verve, as Conley uses his extensive historical knowledge of Cherokee life and culture to spin a lively, informed piece of speculative history." -- "Publishers Weekly" on "War Woman"
